England vs Sri Lanka Live Scores and updates T20 World Cup, ball-by-ball commentary: England will face a stiff challenge against Sri Lanka to book their semi-final birth.
The T20 World Cup has been a roller coaster ride. It started with a strange upset wherein Namibia defeated Sri Lanka. And as we come to the business end – the last match of Group 1, Sri Lanka have a chance to create an upset against England at the SCG. Though, the upset will not be as strange as in the tournament opener.
Sri Lanka are themselves eliminated after both Australia and New Zealand won yesterday. However, they have the pride to play for, and more importantly, for the hosts Australia.
The Asian Champions have a chance to do a favour to the defending champions. But it will be an uphill task against the giants and one of the tournament favourites England.
England, on paper, seem to have all bases covered. While they were not so clinical against New Zealand, their win against the Kiwis shall boost their confidence.
Sri Lanka will also be on the positive side after beating Afghanistan in their last match, and hopefully, the elimination will not play on their mind.
Sri Lanka’s head coach Chris Silverwood, who was England’s coach till recently, will have a serious opportunity for redemption of his removal from that position. He has been undoubtedly influential in Sri Lanka’s T20 development and the Asia Cup win in September.
It will be a cracking contest. England will be under pressure to stay alive in this tournament, whereas Sri Lanka will have nothing to lose and play as fearlessly as they can and put their best game to display.
